Rather then ban freedom for everyone, how about simply not allowing people to use force to redistribute wealth to those that chose badly.
We could introduce the truly radiical idea that you have freedom, and that, with freedom, you also get responsiblity for your choices. The good thing about the 10th amendment, (which is being slowly destroyed), is that you get a choice of what system to live under. You can live in a nanny state like NY, or move elsewhere to a place that suits your better.
Of course, with the vast over reaching of the federal government it's pretty hard to escape these days, but.....
.Just a thought.
